Central Mass. gets hooked on salmon Species reintroduction spawns success story
2001
Overview
\"It's a success story,\" said Caleb H. Slater, coordinator of the Atlantic salmon program for the state Division of Fisheries & Wildlife. \"We're getting fish back every year.\" In the past two decades, the program has brought wild Atlantic salmon back to streams in the western part of the state for the first time in centuries. The Atlantic salmon program began in the late 1960s and, after some tough years, has been improving its success rate in the past decade or so. Millions of salmon eggs are hatched in the state hatchery in Palmer and a federal hatchery in Bethel, Vt., and are released a few months later into streams that feed into the Connecticut River. This year, a total of 2.3 million fry are set to be stocked, Mr. Slater said. At Wachusett, however, thousands of salmon spawn each fall up the Stillwater River. Unlike the Atlantic salmon, which are protected by law, the Stillwater salmon offer a unique fishing opportunity in Massachusetts.
